SAMPLE SEARCH FROM MEDICAL DEEPSEARCH, GOLDEN, CO http://www.netcom.com/~medsrch YOU ARE NOW CONNECTED TO THE TOXLINE (1981 FORWARD, NON-ROYALTY) FILE.                         ==CESIUM CHLORIDE AND ALOE== 3 AUTHOR                    Sartori HE TITLE                     Nutrients and cancer: an introduction to                           cesium therapy. SOURCE                    Pharmacol Biochem Behav; VOL 21 Suppl 1,                           1984, P7-10 ABSTRACT                  A brief overview on the relevance in dietary                           factors in both development and prevention of                           cancer is presented. The pharmacologic                           properties of various food ingredients are                           discussed. Establishing of a special diet for                           the cancer patient is suggested. In addition,                           avoidance of certain foods is recommended to                           counteract mucus production of cancer cells.                           Evaluation of the nutrient content of certain                           diets in regions with low incidence of cancer                           has advanced the use of certain alkali                           metals, i.e., rubidium and cesium, as                           chemotherapeutic agents. The rationale for                           this approach termed the "high pH" therapy                           resides in changing the acidic pH range of                           the cancer cell by cesium towards weak                           alkalinity in which the survival of the                           cancer cell is endangered, and the formation                           of acidic and toxic materials, normally                           formed in cancer cells, is neutralized and                           eliminated. 4 AUTHOR                    Caldana PL AUTHOR                    Bentivoglio G TITLE                     [Use of corticotherapy for the prevention of                           "radiation sickness" in patients subjected to                           cesium therapy for gynecologic neoplasms] SOURCE                    Minerva Med; VOL 74, ISS 6, 1983, P235-8 ABSTRACT                  193 patients treated at Genoa University’s                           Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic for uterine                           and vaginal neoplasias by remote                           after-loading caesiotherapy have been                           studied. 100 patients were given                           6-alpha-methylprednisolone hemisuccinate, a                           corticosteroid derivative, against "radiation                           disease". Only one patient had to interrupt                           the treatment as a result of side-effects of                           the drug and none of the patients showed ill                           effects traceable to ionising radiation, in                           contrast with those who only received                           caesiotherapy (22 out of 93 cases). Given the                           efficiency and special tolerance of this                           cortisone derivative, it would appear to be                           of practical use in the prophylaxis of                           radiation induced diseases in general. 1 AUTHOR                    Tufte FW AUTHOR                    Tufte MJ TITLE                     The effects of zinc gluconate, vitamin A and                           caesium salts on colon carcinoma in mice. SOURCE                    Cytobios; VOL 39, ISS 155-156, 1984, P177-82 ABSTRACT                  Tests have been conducted using caesium                           salts, zinc gluconate and vitamin A on colon                           carcinoma ( C38 ) implants in BDF1 mice.                           Preliminary work suggested a correlation                           between the repression of tumour growth and                           the use of these compounds. Present data show                           a high degree of tumour repression when                           selected amounts of these compounds are used                           together in a treatment protocol. 5 AUTHOR                    GHOSH A AUTHOR                    SHARMA A AUTHOR                    TALUKDER G TITLE                     Clastogenic effects of caesium chloride on                           human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. SOURCE                    TOXICOL IN VITRO; 7 (2). 1993. 137-140. ABSTRACT                  BIOSIS  COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS.  Clastogenic                           effects of caesium chloride (CsCl) were                           studied on human peripheral blood lymphocytes                           in vitro. The different doses of CsCl induced                           chromosomal aberrations in a dose-dependent                           manner. The aberrations were mainly of the                           chromatid type and the frequency was not                           influenced by the age or sex of the donor. 7 AUTHOR                    GHOSH A AUTHOR                    SHARMA A AUTHOR                    TALUKDER G TITLE                     Relative protection given by extract of                           Phyllanthus emblica fruit and an equivalent                           amount of vitamin C against a known                           clastogen, caesium chloride. SOURCE                    FOOD CHEM TOXICOL; 30 (10). 1992. 865-869. ABSTRACT                  BIOSIS  COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS.  Aqueous                           extracts of Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit and                           an equivalent amount of vitamin C were                           administered orally by gavage to                           laboratory-bred Swiss albino mice for 7 days                           in order to evaluate the protection afforded                           by the two extracts against clastogenic                           effects of different doses of caesium                           chloride (CsCl) on bone marrow cells of Mus                           musculus in vivo. Both pretreatments                           significantly reduced the frequency of                           chromosome aberrations induced by CsCl given                           at three different doses, indicating  that                           vitamin C, an essential component of P.                           emblica extract, was the effective agent in                           protecting against the clastogenicity of the                           metal salt. 1 AUTHOR                    Iena IaM TITLE                     [The therapeutic properties of aloe] SOURCE                    Vrach Delo, ISS 2-3, 1993, P142-5 (REF: 9) ABSTRACT                  Data are reported on the use of aloes in                           research and folk medicine. Aloes is used in                           the form of dry juice of aloe leaves, fluid                           extract, juice, ointments. The author                           discusses indications and contraindications                           to the use of aloe. Recipes are given of                           mixtures with aloe which may be used in                           domestic conditions for increasing the                           defensive forces of the body during radiation                           lesions. 3 AUTHOR                    Klein AD AUTHOR                    Penneys NS TITLE                     Aloe vera [published erratum appears in J Am                           Acad Dermatol 1988 Jul;19(1 Pt 1):82] SOURCE                    J Am Acad Dermatol; VOL 18, ISS 4 Pt 1, 1988,                           P714-20 (REF: 27) ABSTRACT                  We review the scientific literature regarding                           the aloe vera plant and its products. Aloe                           vera is known to contain several                           pharmacologically active ingredients,                           including a carboxypeptidase that inactivates                           bradykinin in vitro, salicylates, and a                           substance(s) that inhibits thromboxane                           formation in vivo. Scientific studies exist                           that support an antibacterial and antifungal                           effect for substance(s) in aloe vera. Studies                           and case reports provide support for the use                           of aloe vera in the treatment of radiation                           ulcers and stasis ulcers in man and burn and                           frostbite injuries in animals. The evidence                           for a potential beneficial effect associated                           with the use of aloe vera is sufficient to                           warrant the design and implementation of                           well-controlled clinical trials. 4 AUTHOR                    Grindlay D AUTHOR                    Reynolds T TITLE                     The Aloe vera phenomenon: a review of the                           properties and modern uses of the leaf                           parenchyma gel. SOURCE                    J Ethnopharmacol; VOL 16, ISS 2-3, 1986,                           P117-51 (REF: 154) ABSTRACT                  The mucilaginous gel from the parenchymatous                           cells in the leaf pulp of Aloe vera has been                           used since early times for a host of curative                           purposes. This gel should be distinguished                           clearly from the bitter yellow exudate                           originating from the bundle sheath cells,                           which is used for its purgative effects.
